I think 15 points is being generous to Vandy. The Gators are 6-4 and unranked, but three of their four losses are to teams currently ranked in the Top Six... and they have a win over No. 10 Utah. They do have a home loss to Kentucky, but that was back in September in Billy Napier's second game, and ...

And take note, who's not in this photo: starters Ben Cox, Xavier Castillo, and Bradley Ashmore, starters who had to stay home injured.

2020: 13 carries, 149 yards, 2 TD
2019: 15 carries, 129 yards, 2 TD

The guy has single-handedly eaten Vandy alive the last three seasons.

Going to be an old-fashioned, gritty, grind-it-out, gray November kind of game.

John Clay of the Lexington Herald-Leader is one of the most respected and best sportswriters in the South; he's been at it just about forever. He had Chad Bishop on his podcast yesterday to preview UK-Vandy; I haven't listened to this yet, but feel sure it's gonna be good listening. https://podcasts...

C.J. Taylor has scored two defensive touchdowns this season... this profile is well done. I appreciate so much the work Chad Bishop is doing... goodness knows, the local paper sure ain't interested in doing it.
